If you’ve been taking in alllll the health, wellness, business, and self-improvement advice, this episode is your permission slip to start curating your own intentional “board of directors.” These are the people who will help you steer the ship and hold the line for your vision when you want to default into old patterns.

You’ll learn Erin’s journaling exercise for filtering your influential inner circle into four categories: candle blower-outers, the safety police, light protectors, and expanders, so you can quickly spot who’s fueling your growth and who might be holding you back.

Erin also shares how she chooses truth-tellers and experts for her own board (some she knows, some she pays, some don’t even know her!), plus practical ways to “meet” with your board regularly.

Even if you are not a CEO of a company, you are the CEO of your LIFE, and the right board can help you stop playing small and start moving forward.

In this episode:

How Erin runs a regular “board meeting” with herself to evaluate decisions, track growth, and stay aligned with the life she’s intentionally building
How to identify the “candle blower-outers” who feel subtle, but consistently dim your ambition and confidence
Why the “safety police” mean well, but can still keep you tethered to what’s familiar instead of what you want
The difference between “light protectors” who love you and true expanders who prove your next level is possible
How asking “where is my ship pointed right now?” can immediately reveal which voices deserve decision-making power
